Joining renowned singer-songwriter LAURA MVULA on the Main Stage will be indie-pop band FICKLE FRIENDS and DJ JULIAN BANKS. Headlining the Cabaret Stage is ‘Live at The Apollo’ and ‘8 out of 10 Cats’ star, Tom Allen. He will be joined by Tribute acts ‘Antarctic Monkey’ “Adele: The One and Only’ and ‘David (Bowie)- Live’

Fickle Friends released their first single ‘Swim’ in 2014 and have since played over 50 festivals and a sold-out tour. The band were described by NME as having ‘"Bouncing synths, killer pop-hooks and on-point lyrics about modern alienation."

Julian Banks is a world-renowned DJ that has worked with such artists as Aloe Blacc, Bone Thugs 'N Harmony, Capital Cities, and System Of A Down. He has played Coachella's Merv Griffin House next to A-Trak and Bonobo, and spun at some of the largest clubs in Europe including Croatia's famed Revelin Club.

Tom Allen’s unique style of sharp, acerbic wit and camp, riotous storytelling has seen him perform all over the UK, Europe, Canada, America, Australia and New Zealand.

Things have been ramping up for him in the last year with Tom starring in panel shows across the silver screen. Having supported Sarah Millican on tour Tom has now embarked on his own tour of the UK including a sell-out run at London’s Soho Theatre.

Finally, everyone’s favourite classics from ‘Florescent Adolescent’ and ‘Life on Mars’ to ‘Rolling in the Deep’. Jesus is providing some of the country’s best Tribute acts to finish off the night.

The Ball is full of variety and class this year and will surely be the highlight of all attendees’ social calendars. Tickets are currently sold out but there may be a chance to catch an additional few if you sign up to the waiting list.

Jesus May Ball has also released a spotify playlist to get you in the mood for ball. Less than two weeks to go!
